ALA_Repeat_intv_n
This value defines the number of seconds between repeating alarm. Be careful not to confuse
this entry with ALA_Silence_intv_n discussed above.
The ALA_Repeat_intv_n is in most cases 0, meaning the alarm system does not repeat active
alarms. ALA_Repeat_intv_n is kept to 0 in situations where the alarm systems can set a SET
and RESET, or when the alarm system sends an alarm once at SET.
The ALA_Repeat_intv_n is set to a value larger than 0 if the alarm system is incapable of
sending a RESET indication, and repeats active alarms on frequent basis. When the
appropriate alarms are no longer repeated, the situation is interpreted as a RESET condition.
You can use this option to provide a steady repeat interval (for authorized, active alarms are
repeated every 20 seconds) and a continuously repetition (repeat is not stopped after 10
repeats). When repeat interval is known, you can add a small safety factor (for authorized, add
5 to 10 seconds) and define the ALA_Repeat_intv_n as such.
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 0
ALA_Length_n
This field specifies the length of the alarm that is considered as relevant. Avaya recommends
that you set the length to correspond to the length of the received alarm signal, although this
is not always necessary. You can just as easily change messages in the alarm systems, so the
length fits your environment and peripherals.
For instance, if you keep message length to 16 bytes or less, the messages fit on a single line
on a DECT C4040 or DECT C4050 extension. This demand can result is instructions to the
alarm vendor to properly align relevant information in the received alarm messages, so all
needed text is left-adjusted and processed in DECT Messenger.
In some environments, longer messages are relevant. In such cases, you can specify, for
authorized, message lengths of 100 bytes, if input comes from, for authorized, WEB interface
and output goes to peripherals that are capable of handling long messages (eSMTP, eASYNC,
and so on).
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 16
ALA_Trace_b
This parameter is a Boolean value and can be either True (-1) or False (0).
Specify the value True only for those alarms that are related to eWEB input program and
generated using the Send Script Message function. These alarms are defined in the
eWEB_SCRIPT table.
